This guy is a LEGEND in the social media world. Well done to him.
We need people that enthusiastic to sort the railways out, it’s a disaster
Brilliant !!
He seems like a great guy but I mean. They’re trains. Trains. What is so special about everyday trains.
If im having a bad day , I tune into one of Francis' videos , such a kind , sensitive soul , very thoughtful & handsome , simply putting the " Great " back into Britain 🇬🇧 🫡
i love class 37 to
Trembling and screaming when he sees a train seems odd to me,
He is a beautiful person ,not a usual tik tok obsessed youth ,an intelligent person .
He is very funny ,he is very close to his character he plays on YouTube ❤
TikTok “star” 🤦🏻♂️ a great definition of what’s wrong with this world
Not many views in the US, I understand?
Top Man!
protect that man at all costs
My heart feels huge now, so full of love for this guy! X Francis, you really are one of a kind!
Love his enthusiasm…
What a great sport, impersonating the train sounds ,many would fold at such a challenge ,but to Francis it was just a walk along the platform , he certainly deserves his own weekly series, i think that train spotter is not a grand enough title …… Great British Railway Officianado …. is certainly apt
Such an ambassador for the railway modelling and spotting enthusiasts.
Good bloke 👏
It’s all an act , a character he created, it’s been exposed
Britain and Ireland. Francis is the way my great-grandfather was. He was a stationmaster in Inishowen. His daughter, my granny, was born in that stationhouse in 1904.
I trainspotted when I was young, fantastic fun. Francis brings it all back. Fantastic guy ❤
Love his camera views
Keep up the good work Luke.
well done son
Francis for prime minister 👍
If we could all be this happy with our own hobbies, interests and lives in general the world would be an amazing place.
Such a kind and genuine soul! Much love from Florida Francis! Don't give up doing what you love! Continue to make awesome memories!
The guy is a gift to humanity.
My brother loved all things trains & through his enthusiasm I to love seeing a Class 37.
I liked this way more than I should have done lol. Brilliant pal and made me really smile ✌🏻
Keep him away from Hollywood… for the love of God❤
This young man is so lovely! His excitement is inspiring.
What a really nice chap
Not interested in trains in the slightest. But the guys enthusiasm in his videos is infectious
It was so exciting going on trains as a kid in the 80's 🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞
We need people like Francis in our public life more than ever. Intelligence, enthusiasm and sincerity are qualities lacking in many public figures. You have them in abundance. Hopefully we will see more of you putting a very much needed smile on our faces! 😊
When I'm feeling down, I search for Francis and his videos. Great man.
TV Series please, All about Trains.
Every day that Francis comes across my feed is a better day. His enthusiasm is so infectious.
Keep doing what you do. Your smile is infectious
Everyone needs a hobby ….mines motogp ….if uve never watched it …..watch it !
Been following him for some time online. He's an absolute nutcase but a total star!!! The best of British. I love his clips. And here, this interview, shows he's a natural. If some – several, possibly – TV producer isn't trying to figure out a format for a TV programme starring him, I'd be surprised. Send him to do the diesels of the world!
Huge smile on my face watching this.
His name is Luke Nicolson, he's playing a character in his videos (very well i might add). Fun to watch though.
What a great guy keep being yourself 👍🏼
Francis you are a very intelligent young man and your enthusiasm reflects on that. Keep the train spotting my dear friend. Terry a train enthusiast from Newcastle Upon Tyne
…he's an absolute British gem of a lad…I smiled from start to finish with that interview, and what a good, relevant interview it was too…well done…and I agree – he should be given his own wee tv series like our beloved Fred Dibnah…😊👍 🚉
hahaha a whole lot of loving on that couch
Love anything to do with trains and love announcements too. Keep up doing what you love. I'm also a bus enthusiast and get same thrill with next stop announcements
That guy is some card.
